Doing more research, I think the rear trans mount might be collapsed, even through its seemed like it was solid. Just ordered a new one, hopefully that will fix it, but open to other things I should check!

Hi all, working through some mechanical issues on a new to me 260. The PO had issues with the throttle sticking, and just put some really heavy throttle springs on there and sent it. It's pretty brutal to drive with a throttle pedal this heavy. Prior to the last owner, the car was converted to dual Weber dgv's. I don't think this has much to do with the issue, as the throttle shaft still appears to use the factory shaft/mounts. Removing the shaft end mount from the firewall it's springs down like 3/8 of an inch or more. I am guessing this is at least part of the problem, but I'm not seeing anything wrong with the motor or transmission mounts. The car has an apex engineered front subframe and a 71b 5 speed swap, which from what I have read should still be using all the stock mounts. I took out the trans mount, and cleaned it up, it and the cross member bushings seem fine, look intact to me. Is the gap between the trans mount supposed to be this small? Are these motor mounts right for this setup? Any help is appreciated!
